Ciara Sotto and Roselle Nava Tie the Knot with their Beaus
22 January 2010
Two celebrities, namely
actress-singer Ciara Sotto and singer Roselle Nava said their
“I do’s” to their respected partners last
January 17, 2010.
Ciara Sotto (real name Ciara
Anna G. Sotto) exchanged vows with Jojo Oconer in a Christian
wedding ceremony held at the Westfield Manila Polo Club in
Makati City. The newlywed couple had an “Old English”
wedding theme with lavender as the color motif.
The youngest daughter of
former Senator and Dangerous Drugs Board Chair Vicente Tito
Sotto III and veteran actress Helen Gamboa wore a vintage
inspired gown made by Mitch Dulce. Accompanying the bride
was Megastar Sharon Cuneta, who served as Matron of Honor,
as well as Danica Sotto-Pingris and the bride’s best
friend, Cat Bautista, as Maids of Honor.
Oconer is the Chief Operating
Officer of APT Entertainment, the producer of the noontime
variety show Eat Bulaga!, which Ciara is a part of.
The wedding was attended
by their family and friends in the showbiz industry as well
as politics. Among the members of the entourage include members
of Eat Bulaga! such as Julia Clarete, Joey de Leon, Vic Sotto,
and Pia Guanio, as well as TAPE, Inc, Senior Vice President
and Chief Operating Officer Malou Choa-Fagar. Also present
during the wedding were Senator Gringo Honasan, Cong. Romeo
Jalosjos (represented by his son Bullet Jalosjos) Pops Fernandez,
KC Concepcion, Mother Lily Monteverde, among others.
The two first met in 2005
during one of the US tour of the country’s longest-running
noontime variety show. After four years of being a couple,
Oconer mustered the courage to pop the question to Ciara last
March 20, 2009.
On the same day, singer
Roselle Nava said ‘I Do’ to her boyfriend of nine
years, Allen Ford Lee Tan, at the Manila Cathedral in Intramuros,
Manila. The former Ang TV child star walked down the aisle
wearing a Cecilio Abad gown with Bituin Escalante singing
Savage Garden’s “I Knew I Loved You.”
The event was attended by
the newlywed’s family and close friends. Included in
the entourage were former Ang TV casts Lindsay Custodio, Rica
Peralejo, and Jolina Magdangal.
Fulfilling his promise to
the couple, actor-singer Piolo Pascual surprised Roselle and
Allen when he sang Jim Brickman’s “The Gift”
during the wedding ceremony.
The new Mr. and Mrs. Tan,
along with their guest and family members, headed out to Palacio
de Maynila for their wedding reception. The newlyweds wowed
the crowd as they entered their reception venue riding a motorcycle.
Roselle and Allen met each
other through a common friend, back when the singer was still
shooting for TV drama “Tabing Ilog”.
